Indonesia’s climate action continues to be highly insufficient, obstructed by National interests

that favour profit over sustainability, uninformed policies, and inadequate capacities. My prior
experiences introduced me to these failures and shed light on my duty to deliver climate
mitigation solutions through the non-governmental sector. In this context, Master-level
education in Sweden will enable me to enhance my capacity to contribute through three
channels. It will allow me to be a research fellow in Resilience Development Initiative that can
deliver consultancy projects, research, academic publications and bridge existing network of
experts with those gained in Sweden. It will also elevate my ability to contribute expertise
through current memberships in two organisations: Climate Reality Project and YOUNGO. The
competencies gained will assist me in achieving my goal to lead and enhance both organisations’
impact and climate initiatives within national and international contexts.

My prior experiences introduced me to these failures and shed light on my duty to contribute
climate mitigation solutions, especially through the non-governmental sector. In this context,
Master’s education in Sweden will enable me to enhance my capacity to contribute through three
channels. Firstly, it will allow me to be a research fellow in Resilience Development Initiative,
which will enable me to deliver consultancy projects, research, academic publications, and bridge
existing network of experts with new ones gained in Sweden. It will also elevate my contributions
through my current memberships in two civil society organisations: Climate Reality Project and

within national and international contexts.
- Current issues in Indonesia (climate mitigation, policy aspect, programme implementation) –
issues: Indonesia climate commitments (provide data), climate mitigation efforts (policy
foundation, govt.-business-community actions. – indonesia is currently plagued with
- Knowledge gained (methodological, sound theoretical basis, best practices, multidisciplinary
perspectives, new network of like-minded and passionate individuals/experts with knowledge
to be learned) + previous education and work experiences gained (link with future knowledge
gained, and how it can be utilised as part of the solution).
- How do I solve the problem? (1-2, 3-5 years) Maintain network and activities in non-govt.
organisations & networks, implement projects & activities on advocacy, work on climate
mitigation professionally in international organisations or non-governmental organisations.

Indonesia’s efforts on climate action continues to be deemed as highly insufficient. “National

interests” favoring profit often supercede concrete action on climate mitigation, policies remain
uninformed, and inadequate capacity of stakeholders remains key challenges requiring sustained
actions. My previous professional experiences had introduced me to the root causes of
environmental risks and shed light on the prospect of my role to contribute solutions on climate
mitigation, a topic that I plan to dedicate myself into for the foreseeable future. For this plan to
succeed, I place the attainment of a master’s education at the highest priority, since the
methodological and theoretical knowledge will significantly complement my current practical
understanding. By combining this advanced knowledge with new networks and career trainings
available for SI scholars,

Throughout 2021, Indonesian Disaster Management Agency reported 1,794 floods displacing
406,692 citizens. First-hand experiences of these hazards throughout my life had initially fueled
my apprehension towards environmental issues. Likewise, my professional experiences further
strengthened my will. Involvements in research, consultancies, and programme management had
provided me the means to discern the root causes of environmental risks and act upon possible
solutions, particularly through climate mitigation efforts.

The attainment of a master-level education will further elevate my capacity to contribute

solutions through specialisation in climate mitigation. It will be

Despite these facts,

My professional experiences and continued participation in civil society organisations have

Disaster Management Agency reported 1,794 floods displacing 406,692 citizens. Having been
affected by these hazards throughout my life, I understood that these numbers represent
people’s lives and their livelihoods. Despite these facts, Indonesia’s efforts on climate action
continues to be highly insufficient. “National interests” favoring profit often supercede concrete
action on climate mitigation, policies remain uninformed of current science, and lack of
prolonged public awareness and inadequate capacity of stakeholders are challenges which
requires sustained actions. My professional experiences and continued participation in civil
society organisations have provided me the opportunity to understand the root causes and act
upon my frustrations, and thus, advanced education on climate mitigation will further strengthen
the certification of my expertise and further elevate my competency to tackle climate mitigation.
